# Creating a deploy.xml file

If you want to deploy a BPEL project to the JBoss BPEL Runtime, a `deploy.xml` file needs to be created. The steps below show you how to create this file:

- Create the `deploy.xml` file by selecting File > New > Other... and then BPEL 2.0 > Apache ODE Deployment Descriptor . Click Next.

- On the next wizard page you should enter the following information:

  BPEL Project: Click the Browse... button to select the BPEL project in your workspace where you want to deploy to the runtime. Please note that you should select the `bpelContent` folder in your new BPEL project for the BPEL Project field because this is the correct location for the `deploy.xml` file.

  File name : The default value is `deploy.xml` . This should not be changed.

  Click on the Finish button to close the wizard and a new `deploy.xml` file will be created.

- Double-click the `deploy.xml` file to open it in ODE Descriptor Deployment Editor . In the Inbound Interfaces section, click the Associated Port column and select HelloWorldProcessPort in the combobox.The Related Service and Binding Used columns should be automatically filled in. Save the changes to the `deploy.xml` file.
